Poll responses: 16 ways to get to work

Don't forget the velomobile! It's "as eco-friendly as a bike but much more comfortable to ride and offers protection from the elements, cargo space and aerodynamics," according to one poll respondent.

According to our poll, there are quite a few ways to get to work – especially if you combine multiple modes of transportation! Here is a list of the many ways our poll respondents get to work (followed by the number of people who take that mode):

Our lone velomobiler cycles 5 miles or less in 10-20 minutes to get to work. He or she (I’m not sure) says:

“It’s the best combination of efficiency, speed and comfort for my taste. It’s as eco-friendly as a bike but much more comfortable to ride and offers protection from the elements, cargo space and aerodynamics. I often ride with and electric-assist motor.”

Wondering what the canoeist had to say?

It’s an “occasional” waterborne commute of less than 5 miles, the respondent said. And it takes 30-40 minutes.

“It’s quick, easy, and I often see people I know or interesting things on my commute! Cons - carrying an extra set of clothing or shoes for my end destination.”
